Chapter 175 – Wires (3)
*
Ghouls ran rampant in the wooded forest.
The sight of them running with pieces of rotten flesh was disgusting.
But for now, their looks aren’t the issue.
Ghouls are monsters without reason.
However, these guys moved strategically as if they had reason.
Even if he dies, he runs away as far as possible to pass the time. It was basic to spread out so that they would not gather together.
Even so, he surely approached the border castle.
“Is there someone controlling the back?”
What. It doesn’t matter anyway.
This side can also move strategically now.
Kerry was able to contemplate the entire forest with tracking magic and command the party through telepathy.
To compare it to chess, there are only pawns on the other side, but knights, rooks, bishops, and queens on this side. There were so many words that could be written.
Kerry telepathically instructed her party what to do.
[Lina. Is it possible to stop that huge ghoul?]
[Yes. Available. Because of the ghoul’s strength, it will take some time to catch it, but it’s easy if you tie it up.]
[Lina-sama, please hold on to that size. I and my party will do the rest.]
[Yes!]
The image of Lina running after her answer is felt through the wave of mana.
Not long after that, her gigantic ghoul her roared and brought her to one knee, so much so that she had to raise her head to see her face her. Also Lina.
However, judging from experience, there was no way that his size would easily collapse.
I’ll probably continue to recover.
No problem. She said Lina could solve it if she just put it together in one place.
[Princess Arwen. How many spirits can you summon?]
[Yeah…It depends on how strong you summon them!]
[Enough to expel the ghoul.]
[At that rate…Even 50 of them are possible! However, if you call too many at once, it will be discharged…]
[Even if it’s discharged, it’s okay because there are others.
Then, the basic operation will be based on Arwen’s summoned number.
The rest of you just need to follow my instructions so that no ghoul escapes.]
[Yes. Mr. West. I will do my best to dedicate myself!]
No. I don’t even have anything to dedicate myself to.
[Whoops. You are trustworthy when you come. Kerry.
It’s a beautiful thing to do together. I want to truly become one with everyone as soon as possible.]
To truly become one. What does that mean? Victoria doesn’t know what the hell she’s talking about.
Arwen also burned her will her to work hard.
What happened after that was a breeze.
The ghouls were busy running away when they saw the group.
However, Kerry kept that in mind and drove the ghouls one after another as they camped out.
The situation was different from the previous time when he blindly chased and killed ghouls.
If you run away, I don’t bother chasing you. Because the goal was to make them run away anyway.
My hands and feet fit better than I thought. It seems that the years we spent together were not wasted.
The siege net surrounding the ghouls was getting smaller and smaller.
It has to be like this in the first place.
It’s a party of warriors that this side’s operating forces are incomparable to those of ghouls.
Truly a win.
The situation is over. The fleeing ghouls gathered around the huge ghoul. Like a cornered rat.
“Kreur-“
“Kyaaaaa-“
The ghouls threatened the party with menacing noises, but those teeth were no different from mice placed in front of the cat.
Lina, who was alone blocking the giant ghoul, smiled at the group.
‘Since Kerry is here, everyone is full of motivation.’
Of course, it’s not that the party was rough when they were with Lina, but it was also true that she was incomparable to when she was with Kerry.
“It’s also Kerry.”
“It’s not a big deal. It’s thanks to the hard work of the party.”
“Seobang-nim, did I do well? I ran very hard!”
“That Kerry. I worked hard too. Later… Praise…”
For some reason, it feels like Arwen has joined Natasha’s position in her.
Natasha must have felt that too. Arwen’s sudden challenge gave Natasha a puzzled expression.
It was a time when there was a delicate atmosphere between Natasha and Arwen.
A huge ghoul roars.
Then she began to devour the little ghouls at her feet. Wow. It goes well down my throat.
Even though the ghouls were being eaten, they didn’t run away, they just stood still.
‘As expected, there’s definitely someone controlling the ghouls.’
When quantity was not enough, now it feels like they are trying to compete with quality.
I don’t know who is controlling it, but it’s a gloomy guy who just hides behind.
“Lina.”
“It’s okay. Kerry.”
Lina squeezed her elemental sword.
That was the moment. The surface of the Spirit Sword began to burn with a golden light.
Kerry nodded her head involuntarily at the overflowing golden aura.
“Everyone, please come behind Lina.”
At Kerry’s words, her party her comes running. In the meantime, everyone couldn’t take their eyes off Lina’s spirit sword.
That overwhelming presence was felt from the Spirit Sword.
In particular, the saintess, sensitive to her divine power her, muttered to herself with a shocked expression on her face her.
“How can you get that kind of divine power…”
That is a special ability that only the owner of the spirit sword can use.
It was the awakening of divine power.
Not even Kerry knows the details.
For some reason, even after examining the details of the spirit sword with the eyes of the goddess, it did not come out about the awakening of the divine power.
It was when Lina was holding her elemental sword that was blazing with golden light.
The giant ghoul, which started preying on its own people, gradually grew in size.
Even so, the enormous size only grew larger.
The shadow of the gigantic ghoul covers the sky. Literally, like a solar eclipse, the surroundings became dark.
Now I had to bend my neck to see the hideous face of that gigantic ghoul.
He finished devouring so many ghouls in an instant.
The huge ghoul, whose veins and muscles were gradually swelling, roared.
Aaaaagh!
The roar alone made the air quiver. My ear hole hurts so much.
The gigantic ghoul roared and raised its hands high. It was as if he was trying to take down Lina and the others.
Perhaps because of the huge size of the beast, he couldn’t dare to dodge the punches coming down.
“West!”
Natasha comes to Kerry’s side. If anything, she was ready to run away with all her might hugging Kerry.
But Kerry’s expression was calm.
It was because I could see Lina’s reassuring figure from the back she holding her spirit sword blazing with golden light.
Lina lazily raises her elemental sword.
There was a terrifying sound of her mighty fist her crushing the air, but Lina’s sword didn’t budge.
Lina just looked at her with straight, unwavering eyes.
I see the spirit sword that Lina held straight up.
At that time, she only knew that the spirit sword, which burned with golden light for an instant, had disappeared.
But she wasn’t like that.
It was just that the sword was lowered to the floor so quickly that it could not be seen.
Lina’s spirit sword shoots out beautiful golden light intensely.
The light was so intense that a shadow so huge that it covered the sky was covered in an instant.
Everyone in the group had their eyes closed.
The dazzling golden light gradually disappears.
When all the brilliant golden light disappeared, I couldn’t see where the huge ghoul that blocked my eyes had gone.
Just countless golden sleet fell from the sky.
“Lina-sama… Is this?”
“It’s over. Do not worry.”
Kerry was a little bewildered.
Except for the mass of light that fell like snow from the sky, the only thing that had changed was that the giant ghoul had been erased.
Lina explained that she had read the party’s bewilderment.
“It’s difficult to explain in detail, but the power I used with the Spirit Sword is special.
Identifies the Pia. With this power, there is no need for needless destruction and sacrifice.”
So. Does it mean that there was no need to destroy the forest and only the giant ghouls were eliminated?
It’s a power worthy of a warrior.
“He is also a warrior. Lina.”
“No. Thanks to Kerry. If it wasn’t for Kerry-sama, the situation to use this wouldn’t have been created.”
As if there was sincerity in those words, Lina looked at him with burdensome eyes. Don’t do that
Lina puts her elemental sword into the scabbard. A sharp sword rang around.
Kerry looked at him quietly.
Lina was beautiful.
While the golden sleet was gently falling, Lina’s figure her, wearing silver greaves and inserting her sword, was like a painting.
She was looking at Lina, slightly mesmerized by her beauty her.
Lina and her eyes her met.
If it was like before, Lina would have awkwardly turned her head away or something.
For some reason, Lina looked at Kerry and smiled brightly. She couldn’t help but flutter at that smile.
‘Since entering Lina’s inner world, she often smiles. Maybe she’s closer than before.’
It reminds me of Lina’s flawless appearance of her that I met inside her. She wished she could become friends as much as she did.
There was someone who looked at Lina and Kerry exchanging strange smiles.
It was Natasha.
An alarm sounds violently on Natasha’s ‘smoke detection sensor’.
“West!”
Natasha ran over and got between Kerry and Lina.
“No!”
“What’s wrong? Natasha.”
“Anyway, no!”
“…”
Lina looked at Natasha and Kerry as if they were affectionately attached, but then she shook her head and looked away.
At that time, her madness approached Arwen.
“Kerry. I worked hard!”
Arwen looked at Kerry and patted her ears. It’s clear what you want
I want you to prick her ears. But I couldn’t do that in front of everyone in the party.
But Arwen looked expectant with her eyes wide open.
‘It’s difficult…’
But Kerry didn’t have to do anything.
Natasha’s mate detection sensor was activated, and she stopped Arwen.
“I can’t! West is mine. Please do not come near anyone for a while.”
“W-where is that!”
The strange atmosphere between Kerry and Lina seemed to be the fatal blow.
Natasha was very sensitive.
But what Kerry really cared about was Victoria, who smiled sinisterly even in the middle of the mess.
‘Victoria, why does she keep making a sinister expression as if she’s plotting something?’
Anyway, once we get together, we get distracted.
It was a time when everyone was talking loudly with the atmosphere heated up at the end of the battle.
The red sunset sets and the day begins to get dark.
‘Am I homeless again today?’
I’m used to camping, but I like a house with a roof.
Kerry was about to start preparing for her camp with a bitter expression on her face.
A chuckle is heard from the forest.
They were bold steps, as if they had no intention of hiding their presence.
Through the bushes, armored soldiers appeared. Perhaps the soldiers of Astria.
Rina and the others raised the tension that had subsided.
Then one of her soldiers looked at Lina and said.
“… Are you a warrior by any chance?”
“…”
Lina was sorry and put on a slightly troubled expression. The soldiers seemed to have watched all the battles.
But now, if Lina was found out that she was a hero, there was no reason for her to be in trouble.
After all, Lina was the hero of Astria.
At that time, the soldiers squeak and put down their weapons.
In her reverent mood, she gets down on one knee.
From the soldiers’ continued words, I could understand why Lina had a slightly troubled expression on her face.
That was really something I hadn’t even imagined.
